One member of the Severance cast says that it's his dad who keeps him informed on all the fan theories, and he has one in particular he really believes

We have all sorts of theories coming into Severance season 2. The sci-fi series just begs for discussion and rampant speculation on what’s coming next because, well, that first season’s ending is an incredible cliffhanger.

Turns out this is just as true of family-members in the cast. Of course, the actors only know so much, and some parents and siblings have been throwing around ideas for the overall narrative. Zach Cherry. who plays Dylan in the thriller series, told AV Club that his father is his source of the wildest fan theories.

“They all come from my dad,” he says. “He texts me after every episode, and he’s pretty sure it’s aliens.” That’s not what we’d immediately go for, but honestly, it’s as plausible as anything now that we’re just oen season in.

Created by Dan Erickson, Severance quickly became a hit through word of mouth for Apple TV Plus. The drama series has a bunch of characters whose memory is erased at work, creating a duality between their ‘innie’ and ‘outie’ selves.
